2.3 Wireless Ethernet

Introduction The SpeedTouch™ 716v5WL Wi-Fi® certified IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless

access point allows multiple computers to connect wirelessly to your local network over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment. The SpeedTouch™ is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b, which means 802.11b and 802.11g devices can coexist in the same wireless network.

The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on your SpeedTouch™ allows you to extend the range of your wireless network. To be able to use WDS, you will need to introduce an additional WDS-enabled access point into your wireless network. To be able to connect the computers, make sure that a wireless client adapter (WLAN client) is installed on each computer you want to connect via the WLAN.

Wireless client requirements

All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b can communicate with the SpeedTouch™ and other members of the SpeedTouch™ (W)LAN

environment. However, be aware that only 802.11g compliant wireless clients are able to gain full profit of the 54 Mb/s (Max) bandwidth delivered by the

SpeedTouch™.

It is highly recommended to use only wireless client adapters that are Wi-Fi™ certified to ensure smooth interoperability with the SpeedTouch™’s WLAN.

2.3.1 Wireless Basics

802.11b/g 802.11b is an IEEE standard, operating at 2,4 GHz at a speed of up to 11 Mb/s.

802.11g, a newer IEEE standard also operating at 2,4 GHz, gives you up to 54

Mb/s speed, more security and better performance.

Wireless Fidelity The Wi-Fi certification ensures that your SpeedTouch™ will interoperate with any Wi-Fi certified 802.11g and 802.11b compliant wireless device.

Access Point The SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN Access Point (AP) behaves as a networking hub allowing to wirelessly interconnect several devices to the local (W)LAN and to provide access to the Internet.

Network Name or SSID The WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists between the SpeedTouch™ and wireless clients, a name must be given to allow unique identification of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Service Set ID (SSID), also referred to as Network Name. Wireless clients must be part of this SSID environment in order to be able to communicate with other clients on the (W)LAN - including the SpeedTouch™.

Radio channels The 802.11g standard allows several WLAN networks using different radio channels to be co-located. The SpeedTouch™ supports multiple radio channels and is able to select the best radio channel at each startup.

You can choose to set the channels automatically or manually.

The SpeedTouch™ supports all channels allowed for wireless networking. However, depending on local regulations, the number of channels actually allowed to be used may be additionally restricted, as shown in the table below.

The different channels overlap. To avoid interference with another access point, make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency) is as high as possible. It is recommended to keep at least 3 channels between 2 different access points.

Regulatory Domain Allowed Radio Channels

China 1 to 13

Europe 1 to 13

Israel 5 to 8

Japan 1 to 14

Antennas Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. If for example the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are favoured. Please note that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, that is by reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings. It is advisable to use the received signal strength as indicated by the wireless client manager to optimize the antenna position for the link to a given client.

2.3.2 Connecting Wireless Clients for the First Time

Wireless default settings

After every Reset-to-Defaults, the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point configuration is returned to its initial default settings.

These default settings are:

Security level is low (security disabled) for an easy first use, meaning the data

will not be encrypted. Wireless security settings are described in

“2.3.3 Wireless Security” on page 25.

This default network name (SSID) is printed on the identification label located

on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device. It consists of the concatenation of the word “SpeedTouch” and 6 hexadecimal

characters, without any spaces, for example SpeedTouch123456.

The SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its network name (SSID).

The radio channel number is set to ‘automatically scan for the best radio

channel’.

Registration is not activated. New stations are allowed automatically. The

Access Control List is open and empty. No wireless client will be denied access to the SpeedTouch™ based on its physical hardware address.

To prepare wireless clients for the first time

Make sure that:

The SpeedTouch™ is turned on and ready for service.

The SpeedTouch™ is in its default configuration.

If necessary, reset the SpeedTouch™ to its default configuration (See

“6.4 Reset to Factory Defaults” on page 118 for more information).

A wireless client adapter is installed on your computer.

The wireless client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP

configuration (DHCP) - this is usually the default. For more information, see the documentation of your wireless client adapter.

To configure wireless clients for the first time

The wireless client must be correctly configured for the default network name. As the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name to the wireless clients, you can select the SpeedTouch™ wireless network from a list of available networks. Depending on your wireless client a wireless icon may become green or a message similar to the following may appear: “Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch123456”.

!

to the installation/configuration instructions provided by your Service Provider.

Some wireless clients do not automatically join a wireless network. If so, follow the instructions for the wireless client software to initiate association.

First-time association example

The example below shows how the SpeedTouch™ wireless network is presented towards a Windows XP Service Pack 2 system.

Proceed as follows to associate your wireless client to the SpeedTouch™:

1 Click the network icon in the notification area:

The Wireless Network Connection window appears:

2 In the Choose a wireless network list, select the SpeedTouch™ wireless

network and click Connect.

The following window appears:

3 Click Connect Anyway.

Your computer is now connected to the SpeedTouch™ wireless network.

For other Operating Systems the wireless client will in most cases be configured via dedicated client managers.

2.3.5 Extending the Range of Your Wirelstess

Network

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

The SpeedTouch™ features the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) functionality. This feature allows you to extend the range of your wireless network by introducing one or more WDS-enabled devices into your wireless network.

WDS enables data packets to pass from one wireless access point to another, as if the access points were ports on a wired Ethernet switch. WDS allows you to extend the range of your SpeedTouch™ by means of one or more wireless repeaters, like for instance a SpeedTouch™180. The following illustration depicts two WDS-enabled devices communicating via WDS.

Preconditions Make sure that:

Your wireless repeater is be WDS enabled.

Both your SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater use:

The same WEP key if WEP is enabled.

The same fixed channel.

The SpeedTouch™ allows you to add up to four wireless repeaters.

Repeaters extend the coverage area of your wireless LAN. However, bear in mind that throughput is reduced for wireless clients that are connected through a repeater.

SpeedTouch™180 SpeedTouch™716v5 WL

WDS Link

!

The SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater do not necessarily need to use the same SSID. Using different SSIDs allows you to force your wireless clients to use either the access point of the SpeedTouch™ or the one of your wireless repeater.

To configure WDS Proceed as follows:

1 Go to the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.

2 In the menu, select Home Network.

settings (WEP encryption or no encryption) on your SpeedTouch™ are the same as on the repeater.

3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

Introduction If you want to set up initial Internet connectivity using the Home Install Wizard on the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and Setup Guide.

Access methods Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:

Direct access:

As soon as the initial configuration is finished, immediate and uninterrupted WAN access is provided.

Dial-in access:

Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS).

Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via the SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with embedded PPP client.

Connection protocols The applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s requirements. If, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure PPPoE.

You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection Configuration Guide.

Dial-in clients There are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your computer and your preferences.

If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user name and password on an Internet welcome page.

Dial-in method: can be used on following operating system:

4 Voice over IP

Voice over IP Internet telephony or Voice over IP (VoIP) can be defined as the transfer of telephone calls over your Internet connection.

The SpeedTouch™ VoIP solution

With your SpeedTouch™ you can make Internet and regular telephone calls using traditional analogue phones, connected to your SpeedTouch™.

Multi-line service The voice service on your SpeedTouch™ provides additional lines without the need for additional copper pairs. The additional lines allow you to make and receive several internal and external Internet calls simultaneously.

Fax You can also connect a fax machine to your SpeedTouch™ in order to send and

receive faxes over your Internet connection or over the traditional phone line.

What you need from your ISP

The following SIP configuration parameters are provided by your ISP:

Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)

User name

Password

IP address and port number (usually 5060) of the provider’s registrar

IP address and port number (usually 5060) of the provider’s SIP proxy server

Uniform Resource Identifier

The SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a unique name used to identify and locate your telephone. The SIP URI can have a numerical format or the format user@host. Examples: 3443614 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] (

As VoIP signalling protocol your SpeedTouch™ uses the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), defined in RFC 3261.

If your provider gives you an URI in the format containing an ‘@’, your service provider will tell you whether the ‘@’ can be formed on your phone by dialing a ‘1’, ‘*’, or ‘#’.

4.1 Telephony Setup

Telephony installation The SpeedTouch™ is equipped to connect one or two analogue phones or faxes.

Use a phone cable with RJ-11 connectors to:

1 Wire the SpeedTouch™ Phone port(s) to your phone(s) or fax.

2 Wire the SpeedTouch™ PSTN port to your telephone wall outlet or distributed

filter depending on your Service Provider’s specific needs.
